“Moving in”

The next day, A car waited outside for Mole. There were men wearing a formal attire. Rumors of handsome men were spreading across the hallway.

"They looked like a mafia boss"

"They looked like a fictional character in life"

Mole , hearing those rumors just passed by, ignoring as what he categorized as 'nuisance' chit chats.

The men saw a small guy wearing a turtle neck layered with knitted sweater and a pair of glasses. Mole was having a lot of bags around him.

"What's with the big bags? You are here to work and not to have a vacation." Tuxedo said

Mole glared at him and dropped all of his bags on the floor. "This bag contains all of the things I needed, This bag contains articles and other equipment that clearly you don't have. Lastly, that small bag contains my clothes. Do you have problem with that?"

The two men were shut after Mole pissed explained to them. "Don't talk to Mr. Maximillian like that! He is your employer!"

"AND SO?"

Mole and Tuxedo's assistant were beginning to fight. "This will be a long ride" Tuxedo whispered.

After a long traffic jam to airport with fire bickering of Mole and the assistant, they managed to arrived a head of time. Tuxedo has incredibly long patience during the ride.

After checking in they were placed at the business class of the plane. Mole sat next to the window where he easily see the view. Smiling with bright eyes, Tuxedo saw that the nurse was getting along the trip.

A little while after take off, they heard a loud snore coming from behind. Tuxedo, Unbothered by it, he pulled down his eye cover and plugged in some ear plugs.

Mole on the other hand was a bit annoyed, Trying not to lose patience, he peeked and saw a man snoring with mouth open wide as he drool like a water fall. He was shocked seeing Tuxedo's assistant being a loud sleeper on the plane.

He took a picture using his phone and giggled. He took his neck pillow and threw it behind him. The pillow hit the snoring bear's cheeks making him to startle.

He wiped his mouth and saw that the nurse was staring at him. "Be quiet!" Mole angrily whispered.

After arriving, Mole was getting hungry. His stomach growl and heard by Tuxedo.

"Let's eat first before traveling again"

They stopped by to a nearest restaurant that serves delicacy seafoods. Mole's dish was served with chili peppers which his tongue doesn't tolerate much.

He separated the peppers one by one to the side of the plate then begin to eat. Tuxedo saw that the nurse was being picky, He took a picture without flash without Mole noticing.

He looked at the photo and smiled. "Cute" he said. Tuxedo was thinking of a furry cat that he dreamed of while looking at the nurse's photo.

"It's quite a nice view" Mole complimented as he looked at the window with an aesthetic view of a fresh air Phuket.

"Is it your first time here?

"Yeah~ Most of the time when I travel were about community outreach"

"I think everywhere you go, there's a scenery to be appreciated."

"Don't get me wrong, most of the time I was so focused to helping other people that I tend to overlook things like this one. It's rare for me to see this sustainable view"

"You're not that hard to communicate with."

"What do you mean?"

"Most of the time when we have this small chats, it's either you sarcastically or figuratively talking."

"Which is odd, right?"

"Yes! Considering that I am your employer, the employee was talking back at me."

Mole giggled hearing those words from the tall, handsome rich guy Tuxedo.

"I'm also surprised that you are taking me lightly despite of being famous, wealthy and handsome person."

"Really? I did not noticed"

"No wonder why people line up for you."

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, You're gentle giant from a well known family."

"You're exaggerating"

"Ok, if you say so"

Soon after, a man holding his stomach came. "What did I missed?" in agony, Mole and Tuxedo turn their face away from him.

"Are you finished?"

"I think so-" before he could finish his sentence, he went out again to the bathroom.

"The turbulence hit him so hard" Mole whispered.

3 hours of travel, they arrived at the house of the Maximillians. It was 2 story building with wide range of open space and well architecture.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the house door, a group of people went out. Tuxedo went out from the car first, He was greeted warmly by his relatives.

"Baby T! How was my handsome nephew?" a woman wearing a long yellow tiger dress with pearls and other accessories, Hugged the formally attired actor.

"I'm doing fine Aunt Claire." He sighed. He kissed on the cheeks his loving Aunt and his Father on wheelchair.

Mole was unpacking his things from the car when Tuxedo's Aunt saw him. "Oh my! We have a visitor!"

She dashed to inspect the nurse that was unpacking. She grabbed the nurse's hand "hmmm… quite small and slim… a bit flimsy"

She placed his palms to his cheeks and squishing him to pulp. The anxious Nurse just smile awkwardly. "Chubby cheeks and nice long nose bridge…Long lashes and beautiful puffy lips."

Tuxedo walked and grasped his Aunt's wrist, looking at her embarrassed. Her Aunt looked at him as well and smiled. "Don't worry, I won't meddle with your boyfriend, but he's cute though."

His Aunt left them without a word knowing that her nephew already embarrassed enough. On the other hand, Tuxedo was shocked that he couldn't say a word out of embarrassment.

Mole secretly giggled seeing and hearing the Maximillians being together. It reminds him his Family in the Philippines. They are cute and loving family that bicker and play pranks to each other.

"I'm sorry ma'am but I am the nurse for Mr. Marcus Maximillian"

"Oh really? You're too cute to be my brother's nurse."

"You're the cute-test ma'am"

"Oh! don't flatter me"

"I'm being honest ma'am"

Aunt Claire laughed and find comfort on the nurse. "I like this nurse" She whispered to his brother. Tuxedo's father smiled at the compliment of his sister. He knew that Mole and his sister will get along compared to his son.

"What are you waiting for? I know you guys are hungry! Come along, I prepared a special dish for this wonderful occasion."

Aunt Claire said as she went in the house. On the table, they ate together like a whole family with their few workers.

Mole noticed that there are no maids but there are gardener, security guard, driver and the assistant of Tuxedo. They did not felt that they are just workers but they felt as if they are a family.

Mole felt the warm welcome of the Maximillians despite of their status, they are just a regular civil citizen that loves, being happy, being sad, being strong and being weak.

While they were eating , Tuxedo begin to talk. "After we eat, let me tour you here and also instruct you of some protocols."

Aunt Claire that sat beside Mole grabbed his hands, "Let me have him before that then I will return him to you. Pleaseeeee!" She said as she show her hands with the nurse's

Tuxedo sighed deep and nodded. Aunt Claire looked at the nurse and smiled, "I'm going to teach you somethings"

After they ate, Tuxedo was the one who washed the dishes, Mole was looking at him from far behind. Mole was thinking that it doesn't suit for a guy like him to do chores. This amazes Mole because he learn something from the Maximillians.

A jolly Aunt sprout from nowhere which making Mole to be surprised. "What's the matter hon?"

"Nothing ma'am"

"Stop calling me ma'am, just call me Aunt Claire as well."

"Oh! ok Aunt Claire"

"Come! Let me show you something"

Aunt Claire Dragged the nurse outside with foods and drinks waiting at the backyard. "Look" she said. She pointed out at Tuxedo's Father praying to an altar."

"Is that your brother Aunt Claire?"

"Yes!"

"What is he doing there?"

"He's praying for the security of the family and sometimes he pray for the joy of his son."

"Aunt Claire, Where are your family?"

"My husband is in the US, I choose to live here with my brother. You know, you remind me of my twin sons. They were as small as you and as slim as you before."

"How old are they now?"

"15"

Aunt Claire showed him the photo of his sons when they last visited her. Mole was hurt a bit because the photo clearly showed that the twins were around 10 years old when they have the same height with the nurse.

"Come let's offer this"

"Where?"

At the other side of the house, there was another altar. "This is the guardian of this house, we must pay him respect. And did you know that if you mentioned a wish deep inside your heart, He will fulfill it."

"really?"

"Yes! Come on, let us offer and pray"

Despite of beliefs and cultural differences, Mole did according to Aunt Claire's instruction. He closed his eyes and prayed. Aunt Claire saw how the nurse pays respect and so she smiled and prayed.

"Please protect this child" She whispered.
